When I first saw "Harem Hotel" I expected it to be a kind of crap-fest of bad anime art rape/bondage/violence/humiliation scenes with 50 gallon cumshots like you see in bad hentai cartoons. What a pleasant surprise when it turned out to be a fun, quirky little adventure with quite a variety of girls and storylines. Each girl has her own, unique personality and story. Ashley's possessive clinginess is a turn-off and I wish she was more avoidable in the main story but oh well, no biggy. Some of the others take some work before you want to bed them rather than strangle them but that also works out too. Most of them are a joy.
To be honest, It took me a while to get the flow of the game figured out and I actually restarted it a couple of times to go back and make sure I hadn't missed some things. Once I did I really had fun with all the girls stories.
I'm really enjoying the game so far and looking forward to the future updates, but..........
the whole super preachy socio-political aspect of "evil humans treatment of the indigenous population" is a serious downer and step away from the concept of a Harem Hotel, in fact it's pretty hypocritical. The game centers around treating women as second class citizens, sex objects, and dominating them in dungeons - then gets preachy about how the Elves are treated by humans.
I don't have a problem with the story line as a whole, but the fact that everything shifts from a light-hearted sex romp to a LENGHTY heavy handed social commentary really breaks the mood of the game. Starting the concept earlier in the game, and making it smaller segments throughout would make it less intrusive over all.
If this had started out as a dark, serious game, and continued on through, my thoughts would be completely different than starting out "fun" and getting dark.
The other weird thing is - I've never known anyone besides this MC who was ALWAYS fully clothed having sex. Not that I want to see nekkid men, but its a tad unnatural for this guy to always be screwing with his equipment just sticking out of the zipper of his slacks. Who knows, maybe he's hairier than Sasquatch under there and embarrassed about it
Over all I love this game and HIGHLY recommend it. My dislikes only took away one star, no more.
